WHAT IS BLM…REALLY? YOU DECIDE… the Phrase Bellum Omnium Contra Omnes Is a Latin Phrase Meaning “The War of All Against All” WHAT IS BLM…REALLY? YOU DECIDE… The phrase Bellum omnium contra omnes is a Latin phrase meaning “the war of all against all”. Another Latin phrase Bellum se ipsum alet means “the war will feed itself”. A third Latin phrase Bellum civile means “civil war”. Wikipedia-Bellum Now what defeats Bellum, the daemon of war? Wikipedia-Polemos Dionysos, the god of the life force, or one could say… “the breath of life” REMEMBER THIS! WHAT IS BLM…REALLY? YOU DECIDE… Have you heard of a sigil? A sigil is a seemingly meaningless symbol used in Chaos magic that is given power by its creator. There are two ways to make a sigil. One is to make a drawing that then becomes associated with a demonic entity. The other, you remove all the vowels and double letters of a given word. B E L L U M So holding BLM signs… and chanting “I can’t breathe”… Is an incantation for the daemon! WHAT IS BLM…REALLY? YOU DECIDE… So there appears to be a deeper agenda behind this movement, and the puppet masters have always used sigils and dark magik to manipulate the energy of the population to their advantage. BlackLivesMatter dot com appears to be an international money laundering scheme used by the Democrats to raise money from an international audience. WHAT IS BLM…REALLY? When you click on the “Donate” button on blacklivesmatter dot com you are sent to an “ActBlue” donations page. When you research the expenditures of ActBlue, all their contributions are directly going to top DNC campaigns. Act Blue is not a charity. It appears more accurately to be an illegal funding arm of the DNC. Do all the individuals around the world know that when they donate to Black Lives Matter, they are really donating to the Democrat Party? It is against the law to funnel international money into US elections. It is a violation of campaign contribution laws and is not legal. This is just another corrupt wing of the Democrat Party. WHAT IS BLM…REALLY? YOU DECIDE… • Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter, just donated $3 million to Colin Kaepernick’s new George Floyd initiative designed to replace the police with BLM community organizers. Let’s follow the money! • Jack Dorsey enjoys a remarkably close relationship with leading Black Lives Matter activist DeRay McKesson — translated – BFFs! Black Lives Matter supporters have violated multiple Twitter terms of service rules with absolute impunity, from celebrating the deaths of police officers and calling for more to die, to open support of the Baton Rouge cop killers, these tweets and many more have been allowed across the platform with no repercussion. Many of the tweets are still up, and the users have not received any punishment. WHAT IS BLM…REALLY? DeRay McKesson and Jack Dorsey DeRay McKesson, Jack Dorsey, Colin Kaepernick Who was the first athlete to “take a knee”? Hmmm… WHAT IS BLM…REALLY? YOU DECIDE… • On the day the riots started, Mayor Frey had just mandated masks for everyone & the first looting happened at a Target store right near Cedar Riverside. It was looted, not torched. How convenient. All rioters wearing masks! Coincidence? • Target Stores, a retail operation founded by the liberal Dayton family, the same family of Minnesota’s previous Democrat Governor Mark Dayton, immediately donated to Black Lives Matter and shut down ALL their stores to escape further damage. Coincidence? • Within 24 hours of Floyd’s death, thousands of rioters looted & torched Minneapolis while the police stood down and let it burn. That doesn’t just happen! WHAT IS BLM…REALLY? YOU DECIDE… George Floyd’s niece at his funeral: “Someone said ‘Make America Great Again’ but when has America ever been great?!” Sound familiar, Gov. Cuomo? Eric Holder? WHAT IS BLM…REALLY? YOU DECIDE… • Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton & Ben Crumb are using George Floyd’s son, Quincy Mason, a 27-yr-old living in Bran, TX, as a prop. Mason noted that he had not been close to his dad for some time and did not immediately realize the video was of his father. But his mother pointed it out to him before the name was circulated widely in the media and online. He and his sister call for peaceful protests – when not in the company of Ben Crumb! THE SUNRISE MOVEMENT & ANTIFA The Sunrise Movement is an organization that specializes in teaching middle and junior high schoolers in the ANTIFA tactics, in order to keep the police busy on several fronts as a decoy. They also indoctrinate the kids into a fascist mindset. THE SUNRISE MOVEMENT & ANTIFA Remember the symbol type of sigil we talked about earlier? Do you see any similarities between this sigil of Lucifer and the Sunrise Movement “logo”? THE SUNRISE MOVEMENT & ANTIFA • This Antifa Manual was supposedly found on The Evergreen State College campus. Evergreen? HRC’s Secret Service code name? Coincidence? THE SUNRISE MOVEMENT & ANTIFA But you have to ask: is this an actual document based on the Communist Manifesto? Or another troll attempt? Posted anonymously on 4-chan, its true source is still veiled. Snopes’ states: “The actual text of [the manual] contradict[s] what we know about antifa groups.” “…cis white males (white men whose gender identity matches the gender they were assigned at birth), non-PoC (White people) and non-lgbtq (those who do not identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer) individuals are welcome members of antifa groups. THE SUNRISE MOVEMENT & ANTIFA Other passages read more like satire. For example, one paragraph describes “ANTIFA regulators” who will monitor the use of racial epithets. Other passages spout conspiracy theories, such as microchipping all individuals or building a “New World Order.” None of these ideas align with any messages that are actually espoused by antifa groups. “ Bottom line: when a source is anonymous and unproven, don’t jump to conclusions! Just wait for more solid information. THE SUNRISE MOVEMENT & ANTIFA We have overwhelming evidence ANTIFA is Democrat-controlled and ignores the grassroots BLM protesters. These unwitting pawns don’t want to see their own communities destroyed! But some know what’s up! Lord Jamar — I Don’t Support Black Lives Matter, It’s Not Our Movement American rapper, DJ, record producer, actor, and podcaster (copyright issues) THE SUNRISE MOVEMENT & ANTIFA Have we seen this before with Stokely Carmichael, one of the leaders of the Black Panther movement at Kent State? MORE BLACK DEATHS FROM RECENT RIOTS David Dorn, 77, died while trying to protect Lee’s Pawn Jewelry from looters. Barry Perkins, 29, died after getting stuck on the converter dolly between a FedEx truck’s trailers while the driver of the truck pulled away. MORE BLACK DEATHS FROM RECENT RIOTS David McAtee, 53, the owner of a barbecue restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky, was killed after police and National Guard members opened fire at a protest. Dorian Murrell, 18, was shot and killed by Tyler Newby, 29, in Indianapolis. Italia Kelly, 22, was shot and killed during a protest in Davenport, Iowa while she was leaving Monday night. Marquis M. Tousant, 23, was shot and killed Monday in Davenport, Iowa after police responded to reports of a suspicious vehicle, before their car was fired upon multiple times, according to WQAD. MORE BLACK DEATHS FROM RECENT RIOTS Calvin L. Horton Jr., 43, was fatally shot near the police department’s Third Precinct in Minneapolis in what is believed to be the first killing since the protests began according to Minnesota’s CBS affiliate. James Scurlock, 22, was fatally shot by a bar owner during a fight with several people Saturday night in Omaha, Nebraska, amid protests. Victor Cazares, 27, was shot and killed in Chicago during rioting, which was ruled a homicide by the Cook County medical examiner’s office. MORE BLACK DEATHS FROM RECENT RIOTS Patrick Underwood, 53, was an officer in the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Protective Service who was gunned down Friday as he stood guard outside the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Oakland, Calif. Amid protesting. Jorge Gomez, 25, was shot and killed by Las Vegas police during Monday night’s protests near the federal courthouse in downtown Las Vegas. Not yet named: 29-year-old Chicago man was shot and killed in what was ruled a homicide and attributed to “outside agitators” during the riots, according to the Chicago Sun Times.

Not yet named: Philadelphia man tried to blow up an ATM to loot it and was killed, according to a CBS Philadelphia affiliate. Not yet named: Detroit man was shot and killed during protests, and police are searching for a woman identified as a person of interest. BLACK PEOPLE WHO MADE A DIFFERENCE Do you think people of this caliber would want us taking a knee for George Floyd? The only ones we take a knee to are God and Christ. We move forward to the future in care and consideration of all people. Deep State pulling strings, dividing us in EVERY way. Here are some screenshots of actual YouTube videos pushing these divisive narratives. Dividing us by Politics How political opponents became enemies in the U.S. Dividing us by Race Global wave of protests condemns police brutality and systemic racism | Black Lives Matter Dividing us by Religion UN worried by the rise in religious intolerance Dividing us by Class Class Warfare | Harvard Dividing us by Sex Conceptualizing Sex, Patriarchy, Gender, Transgender and Sexual Division of Labour HOW DID WE GET HERE? HOW DID WE GET HERE? 7:19 – the rune of death, double cross, face of Lucifer, sigil of Satan, sigil of Chaos HOW DID WE GET HERE? Paul VI Hall in Vatican City HOW DID WE GET HERE? We need to stop the world from descending into a world dictatorship.

  • Resources on Racial Justice June 8, 2020
    Resources on Racial Justice June 8, 2020 1 7 Anti-Racist Books Recommended by Educators and Activists from the New York Magazine https://nymag.com/strategist/article/anti-racist-reading- list.html?utm_source=insta&utm_medium=s1&utm_campaign=strategist By The Editors of NY Magazine With protests across the country calling for systemic change and justice for the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade, many people are asking themselves what they can do to help. Joining protests and making donations to organizations like Know Your Rights Camp, the ACLU, or the National Bail Fund Network are good steps, but many anti-racist educators and activists say that to truly be anti-racist, we have to commit ourselves to the ongoing fight against racism — in the world and in us. To help you get started, we’ve compiled the following list of books suggested by anti-racist organizations, educators, and black- owned bookstores (which we recommend visiting online to purchase these books). They cover the history of racism in America, identifying white privilege, and looking at the intersection of racism and misogyny. We’ve also collected a list of recommended books to help parents raise anti-racist children here. Hard Conversations: Intro to Racism - Patti Digh's Strong Offer This is a month-long online seminar program hosted by authors, speakers, and social justice activists Patti Digh and Victor Lee Lewis, who was featured in the documentary film, The Color of Fear, with help from a community of people who want and are willing to help us understand the reality of racism by telling their stories and sharing their resources.

  • City of Girls Elizabeth Gilbert
    AUSTRALIA JUNE 2019 City of Girls Elizabeth Gilbert The blazingly brilliant new novel from Elizabeth Gilbert, author of the international bestseller Eat Pray Love: a glittering coming-of-age epic stitched across the fabric of a lost New York Description It is the summer of 1940. Nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris arrives in New York with her suitcase and sewing machine, exiled by her despairing parents. Although her quicksilver talents with a needle and commitment to mastering the perfect hair roll have been deemed insufficient for her to pass into her sophomore year of Vassar, she soon finds gainful employment as the self-appointed seamstress at the Lily Playhouse, her unconventional Aunt Peg's charmingly disreputable Manhattan revue theatre. There, Vivian quickly becomes the toast of the showgirls, transforming the trash and tinsel only fit for the cheap seats into creations for goddesses. Exile in New York is no exile at all: here in this strange wartime city of girls, Vivian and her girlfriends mean to drink the heady highball of life itself to the last drop. And when the legendary English actress Edna Watson comes to the Lily to star in the company's most ambitious show ever, Vivian is entranced by the magic that follows in her wake. But there are hard lessons to be learned, and bitterly regrettable mistakes to be made. Vivian learns that to live the life she wants, she must live many lives, ceaselessly and ingeniously making them new. 'At some point in a woman's life, she just gets tired of being ashamed all the time.

  • The Matter of Black Lives a New Kind of Movement Found Its Moment
    The Matter of Black Lives A new kind of movement found its moment. What will its future be? By Jelani Cobb, THE NEW YORKER, March 14, 2016 On February 18th, as part of the official recognition of Black History Month, President Obama met with a group of African-American leaders at the White House to discuss civil-rights issues. The guests—who included Representative John Lewis, of Georgia; Sherrilyn Ifill, the director- counsel of the N.A.A.C.P. Legal Defense and Educational Fund; and Wade Henderson, who heads the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights—were intent on pressing the President to act decisively on criminal-justice issues during his last year in office. Their urgency, though, was tempered by a degree of sentimentality, verging on nostalgia. As Ifill later told me, “We were very much aware that this was the last Black History Month of this Presidency.” But the meeting was also billed as the “first of its kind,” in that it would bring together different generations of activists. To that end, the White House had invited DeRay Mckesson, Brittany Packnett, and Aislinn Pulley, all of whom are prominent figures in Black Lives Matter, which had come into existence—amid the flash points of the George Zimmerman trial; Michael Brown’s death, in Ferguson, Missouri; and the massacre at the Emanuel A.M.E. Church, in Charleston, South Carolina—during Obama’s second term. Black Lives Matter has been described as “not your grandfather’s civil-rights movement,” to distinguish its tactics and its philosophy from those of nineteen-sixties-style activism.

  • Thesis Opening the Black Box of The
    THESIS OPENING THE BLACK BOX OF THE 2015 BALTIMORE RIOTS: AN ACTOR-NETWORK THEORY CONTRIBUTION TO COMPOSITION Submitted by John Edward Koban Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2016 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Lisa Langstraat Timothy Amidon Joseph Champ Copyright by John Edward Koban 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT OPENING THE BLACK BOX OF THE 2015 BALTIMORE RIOTS: AN ACTOR-NETWORK THEORY CONTRIBUTION TO COMPOSITION The purpose of this project is to experiment with new ways of supplementing the “social turn” in composition by using Actor-Network Theory (ANT) as a methodology. In demonstrating the ways ANT could support composition, I conduct a study of the 2015 Baltimore riots in the wake of the fatal injury of Freddie Gray by Baltimore police. In understanding the events the focus is not on the riots themselves but the place where the riots occurred, Baltimore’s Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood, also the home of Freddie Gray and his family. The social focus of this study is to demonstrate how ANT could support an anti-racist composition theory and practice. Herein I argue that ANT has much to offer anti-racist composition theory, arguing that when the methodology is deployed that researchers can arrive at robust findings that supports writing that produces action. In making this argument I identify four general areas that ANT contributes to composition theory: the first area is that the theory behind the method is non-critical in nature. This simply means that instead of relying on critique as means to achieve social justice and critical thinking that we also spend more time describing and assembling and composing--drawing a picture of the social--before beginning the work of critical analysis.

  • The Next Civil Rights Movement? Fredrick C
    The Next Civil Rights Movement? Fredrick C. Harris Kareem Jackson, a St. Louis hip-hop artist who goes by the name Tef Poe, was interviewed this February by a BBC talk show host about why the Black Lives Matter movement was necessary. A leader in the organization Hands Up United, which was founded in the wake of Michael Brown’s murder, Poe explained: “One of the negligent areas of the civil rights movement is that we did not move the moral compass of racism to the right direction.” 2015 Though the 1960s movement addressed the civil and political rights R that were denied to black people—access and use of public accommoda- tions, the right to vote, and ensuring fair employment and housing oppor- SUMME · tunities—it did not directly confront the racialized degradation black people T endured, and many continue to endure, at the hands of the police. What the Black Lives Matter protests have done, however, is not only put police issen D reform on the policy agenda but demanded that American society recon- sider how it values black lives. Tef Poe had not been directly involved in politics until Brown’s death. He was a struggling hip-hop artist who occasionally wrote a column for the Riverfront Times, an independent newspaper in St. Louis. One day, while checking his Instagram account, Poe noticed a post that shook him. It was a photograph of Brown’s stepfather holding up a hand-written sign that read simply, “My unarmed child has been murdered by the Ferguson police.” As he watched the wave of anger, disgust, and disbelief mount on his social media feed within hours of the shooting, Tef Poe knew he had to go to Fer- guson.

  • The Role of Police in a Racist-Capitalist Society
    The Role of Police in a Racist-Capitalist Society. Defunding and Dismantling the US Police Being Fiercely Debated Amid the national unrest law-enforcement has been documented committing further acts of misconduct and brutality By Abayomi Azikiwe Region: USA Global Research, June 11, 2020 Theme: Intelligence, Law and Justice, Police State & Civil Rights, Poverty & Social Inequality Since the videotaped violent murder of African AmericanGeorge Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25, there has been an upsurge in antiracist and anti-police brutality demonstrations and rebellions spanning across the United States. When Darnella Frazier, the 17-year-old woman who captured this horrendous police action on her cellphone and later posting it to social media, the debate around the role and status of police forces came to fore. Floyd’s killing represented a long legacy of systematic racist violence directed towards African Americans by law-enforcement agents and vigilantes. These deaths at the hands of police, racist organizations and individuals are often allowed to take place without any legal consequences for the perpetrators. Other high profile cases involving the shooting deaths Ahmaudof Arbery in Georgia and Breonna Taylor in Louisville, served to heighten the level of social tensions leading to a myriad of expressions which oppose the historic treatment of African Americans. One issue which has created much concern from the perspective of the U.S. ruling class is the idea of defunding or even dismantling the police. Slogans raised by demonstrators over the period since May 25 labelling police as inherently racist and brutal, are being reflected in the debates taking place throughout the corporate media.
